Late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti was truly a man of the people and the prophet who saw tomorrow. The afrobeats inventor, super star and inimitable social activist, understood those who have held Nigeria by the jugular. That’s why he called them Vagabonds in Power, V.I.Ps. They’re there to feed their insatiable greed while presiding over Nigeria’s ruination. […] More
I love taking solo walk for exercise. I do it early in the morning. I go out in simple dress mainly made up of T-shirt on a nicker-bicker or tight-fitting breeches which, for only God knows why, Americans choose to call PANTS!Underwears?Abi kinla? Or what?! Those Americana people! Why are their own things always different? […] More
It’s another Friday and the muezzin is getting ready to summon the Faithful for yet another JUMAT service. Are you ready to be at the central mosque to witness happenings there today? Yes, sir. We are quite willing to be part of the ‘show’. Which show? Can’t you be serious for a moment? Do you […] More
Who be that? Na me o, Baba Okondo Baba ki lope? What or whose baba is that? Baba Okondo. Oko …whaat?! From where? Ah! Abi you don forget me? So soon? You don’t know me at all? Chai! Chai! Chai! Osanobua! Sorry if I can’t remember things like I used to. I hope you too […] More
Mendacity has been the operating ideology of the All Progressives Congress. Since its inception, it has fiercely embraced deliberate falsehood and deployed it as a potent weapon of political warfare. Its leaders have an adversarial relationship with truth, and they intuitively triple down on their false claims even when overwhelming evidence contradicts them. The chief […] More
Nyesom Wike is a man on a mission. One he has designed to wreck the Peoples’ Democratic Party’s chances in next year’s general elections. What he can’t get, he’ll work hard to prevent others from getting. It’s said that those the gods want to destroy they’ll first inebriate with insanity. They assume the status of […] More
I recall now that moment of frenzy in the year 2015 when General Muhammadu Buhari returned to power, this time, as a civilian head of government. The wild jubilation, the pump and the bravado by party men and women as well as supporters across the land that the saviour had come. The man many expected […] More
In the months of May and June, Nigerians temporarily dropped the whining over the style of governance of President Muhammadu Buhari and the parlous state of the economy to cheer the political parties. They wanted the parties to give us candidates who can change the narrative. This is so we can have competitive choices to […] More
You remember that time we became the butt of jokes in the sub-region? The time people offshore saw affliction in our new found head, and made that their business; howling that our beloved leader was spent? It would not have warranted a recall, if at home we were not made to pay for the unkind […] More
It is a welcome development that the Lagos State government and the police are taking more than a passing interest in the unfortunate sex scandal involving some pupils of Chrisland School, Lagos. The debate so far has centered on whether the girl in the midst of the affected pupils was raped or not. That, though […] More
Self-praise is the luxurious indulgence of the indolent and the vain. The ninth National Assembly has consistently displayed its indolence and vanity in large measure. Probably because it lacks self-awareness of its very low esteem among the public, it has awarded itself the distinction of being the best National Assembly since the inception of the […] More
Nigeria now equates to a new definition of extreme chaos in all its frightening dimensions and calamitous ramifications. A country betrayed by its Lilliputian leaders and short-sighted effete elites. It was Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State, who repeatedly warned weeks before the 2015 general elections that Nigerians would be boarding “a one-chance bus” if […] More
